Two jetski pilots are under investigation after one of them crossed a group of dolphins at sea while the other watched closely.
The incident occurred at Adelaide Beach in Australia, when the two pilots came dangerously close to a group of dolphins at sea, putting marine life at risk.
The two are now being investigated by the Department of Environment and Water, which stated it has video evidence showing one of the pilots moving through the group while the other hovered nearby.
It is worth noting that operating within 300 meters of marine animals is already considered a violation of wildlife conservation rules in the region.
While it may seem that the pilot acted intentionally, others have suggested that there is simply a lack of awareness about how watercraft disturb marine life.
The pilots have not yet been identified, but the Department of Environment and Water intends to punish those responsible to the full extent of the Parks and Wildlife Act, meaning two years in prison or a $100,000 fine.
